Calling all Deadheads: The Grateful Dead offshoot collective known as Dead & Company have just announced a 19-date summer tour and they're jamming through San Diego on July 6 with a show at Chula Vista's Mattress Firm Amphitheatre.

The band, which consists of Grateful Dead members Bob Weir (guitar/vocals), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), and Mickey Hart (drums) -- as well as John Mayer (guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass/percussion) and Jeff Chimenti (keyboards) -- initially started playing together after the Dead's big "Fare Thee Well" concerts in mid-2015.

Before those shows, Weir found himself jamming with Mayer for an in-studio performance on "The Late Late Show" (which Mayer was guest-hosting at the time). Their musical bond carried over after the Grateful Dead performed their final concerts, and the new group Dead & Company was formed soon thereafter. They would embark on their first three-month tour in late 2015.
